FC Barcelona 2018-19 Third Kit
The new FC Barcelona 2018-19 third kit has been released this morning. Made by long-term Barca shirt supplier Nike, the Barcelona 18-19 third shirt is peach / light pink with claret and metallic silver as secondary colors.
The two-tone shirt, with the darker red of the sash and its surrounding graphic gradually giving way to a paler pink shade, is the latest in a long line of daring changed kits worn by Barca. “We believe the kit is bold and exciting and therefore ideally suited to FC Barcelona,” says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “The football club is part of the fabric of Barcelona; its influence is visible in every avenue and plaza, and that passion really inspired the team’s 2018-19 collection.”
As it’s been the case every season since 2014-15, the Barcelona 2018-19 third jersey is based on a global Nike template. The new Nike FC Barcelona 18-19 third kit celebrates the city of Barcelona with a pattern based on an aerial view of Barcelona’s famous Eixample District and its blocks.
“We believe the kit is bold and exciting and therefore ideally suited to FC Barcelona,” says Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director. “The football club is part of the fabric of Barcelona; its influence is visible in every avenue and plaza, and that passion really inspired the team’s 2018-19 collection.”
The Barcelona 18-19 third kit is predominantly peach (light pink) with a thin sash from the top left to bottom right in a slightly darker, more saturated shade of the color. The Rakuten logo on the Barcelona 2018-2019 third shirt is white, which is not ideal for legibility but helps keep the design streamlined.
In line with the inspiration behind Nike’s 2018-19 third kits, the Barcelona 2018-2019 third jersey features a very eye-catching graphic print inspired by L’Eixample, Barcelona’s famous district that has a unique grid layout with long streets and square building blocks. This is present inside the more saturated part of the shirt, while another, even more subtle print is featured on the other parts.
In more general template ways, the Nike Barcelona 18-19 third kit is based on the latest iteration of the Vapor Aeroswift template, just like home and away.
The shorts of the Barcelona 2018-2019 third kit have the same color as the shirt, whilst the socks fade from peach to claret.
